Dafne Schippers

“When they line up it's just eight women that want to run fast, that's it.”

“The sprinters are more like gladiators but I don’t really miss the heptathlon. I like to beat the tough girls.”

“You might not win the start but you can win the race.”

“If you don’t have the mentality you won’t win.”

“You run a good race, you win and it’s one of the most amazing moments of your life and then you face the questions. It’s very hard.””
